Chapter 1858

Three Spider-Men gathered in front of a jar, looking at the black liquid surging inside. One of the Spider-Men pointed to the jar and said: "Are you sure this thing is an alien life? Why does it look like a lump of rotten mud?"

"Don't say that." Another Spider-Man spoke: "I remember he hates others calling him rotten mud the most. Don't look at him as if he looks a bit evil, but actually, he's quite a good person. His previous host was also my friend. You guys stay away first, I'll go ask him."

Two Spider-Men took two steps back. One of them said worriedly: "How are you going to talk to him? Where is this thing's mouth?"

"I also have a symbiote in my body. The two of them can communicate, but the communication process between them..."

Before Spider-Man finished speaking, the black rotten mud in the jar rushed upward violently. With a "bang", the ceiling was smashed into a pit by a huge black tentacle. Spider-Man jumped upward, and the red symbiote mucus behind him surged out.

The two sides collided together, and immediately it was like overturning a large paint bucket. In an instant, rotten mud splashed everywhere, and the whole room looked like it had been splashed with paint, black with black and red with red.

About two minutes later, the two sides finally stopped this friendly exchange. The other two Spider-Men heard another voice coming from the Spider-Man in the room: "Damn, Venom is so disgusting in every universe! Ugh..."

"Where did you come from, you bumpkin?!" A low and evil voice sounded: "Get out quickly, this body is mine!"

"Can you be reasonable?! Venom! Don't you understand first come, first served? Spider-Man is my official host, and we signed a contract. You are the one who should get lost!"

"Did you burn your brain when you fell into the atmosphere?! Get lost!"

"Stop arguing, stop arguing!!" Spider-Man raised his voice and said: "If you argue again, I'm going to play rock music at high volume!"

The two symbiotes were weirdly silent for an instant. Spider-Man took the opportunity to shout at the door: "Send a Spider-Man in. Venom needs a host, otherwise he won't talk properly."

The other two Spider-Men looked at each other. One of them swallowed his saliva and walked in with a hard scalp, muttering as he walked: "I've been bitten by a zombie, so being bitten by rotten mud doesn't count as anything. My God, he looks like melted asphalt..."

"Be polite, kid!", "Whoosh", Venom gathered his body and rushed onto Spider-Man. In an instant, black mucus covered Spider-Man's whole body, and Venom's big mouth appeared on Spider-Man's body.

"What's going on with you? I smell a disgusting smell on you. You wouldn't be that annoying universe agent, would you?"

"Venom, I warn you, show some respect. You are the number one wanted criminal on Klyntar. The thing you and your host did by splashing shit at the Andromeda Dwarf Starport..."

"Alright, alright, Red Bee, these are two universes' affairs. You guys don't talk at cross-purposes anymore. Let's talk about business." Spider-Man interrupted their argument.

Spider-Man took the small holographic projection equipment from Stark next to him and pressed the button. The projection of the nano-computing module appeared, and Venom immediately let out a surprised "Eh?"

"Do you recognize it?" Spider-Man asked.

"This thing... where did you get this thing?"

Influenced by Spider-Man's rational thinking, Venom also became less frantic. He leaned forward to look carefully, then looked at the zombie blood in the needle provided by Spider-Man, and shook his head: "This is my descendant factor."

"What?!" Everyone widened their eyes and looked at him.

"It's exactly what it means." Venom roared impatiently: "This is the descendant of my symbiote factor, but I don't know who turned it into this ugly look. What is this thing for?"

Spider-Man and Iron Man looked at each other. Spider-Man pursued: "You mean, this thing is actually transformed by the symbiote factor of your descendants?"

"No!" Venom roared again. He explained impatiently: "My descendants will be another symbiote, but this thing isn't a symbiote factor, but a lower-level product of the symbiote factor. It's my factor, but it has undergone in vitro evolution and iteration, becoming a descendant factor."

Venom waved his hands and explained: "If it were the symbiote factor of my descendants, then when they combined, they would still constitute a symbiote. But this thing won't, because they have lost the characteristics of a symbiote in in vitro evolution. It's just a single special factor."

"Could it be like this?" Stark proposed a possibility: "In a certain universe, Osborn caught this lump of rotten mud, extracted his symbiote factor, and then performed in vitro cultivation, and then manufactured this nano-computing module, used to steal the computing power of human brains in other universes?"

But the eyes of the three Spider-Men all fell on Stark.

Stark was stunned for a moment, looked at himself, and said: "You guys wouldn't want to say that I am the mastermind, would you?!"

"It's possible it's you from another universe, Mr. Stark." Spider-Man pointed out: "In vitro cultivation of factors isn't difficult. What's difficult is transforming it into a nano-computing module. I'm afraid only you can do this."

Stark supported the experimental table with one hand and covered his forehead with the other, saying: "But why would I do this? What exactly needs me to steal the computing power of human brains in several other universes? What exactly am I calculating?"

Spider-Man's expression also sank. He said: "If an evil Iron Man in a certain universe needs so much computing power, it proves that the conspiracy he is planning must be unimaginably huge."

Others also fell silent. They understood what Spider-Man meant. Usually, Tony Stark's genius brain allowed him to deal with almost all troubles, and from his personality, he didn't like to rely on external forces very much.

But if one day he really did this, and what he relied on wasn't a little external force, but made a huge conspiracy, infecting several universes, just to steal the computing power of human brains, then what exactly did he want to build?

Stark stood where he was and thought quietly for a while before saying: "The computing module can run independently when performing calculations, but if you want to upload the calculation results, there must be a path. If we can find this path, maybe we can talk directly to the mastermind."

Spider-Man immediately became energetic. One of the Spider-Men looked at Stark and said: "Then how can we find this path? Can we crack the nano-computing module?"

Stark was particularly rigorous in professional knowledge. He didn't exaggerate and only considered it for a while before saying cautiously: "I need to know the networking method of this kind of nano-computing module, but the clues are insufficient now. If I use violent means to invade, it might arouse the vigilance of the other side."

Spider-Man felt disappointed again, but the Spider-Man who had recovered his Venom appearance restored his own appearance and then said: "My universe, that is, the zombie universe infected by the zombie Sentry, might have clues. I saw a big-headed guy on the moon before. He calls himself the Multiverse Watcher. We should go ask him."

"I'm going back to my laboratory to continue studying this module." Stark said: "If it's really as I hypothesized, I might be able to do something about it."

After discussing for a while, they decided that the Spider-Men would take Venom back to the zombie universe, Stark would return to his universe to continue research, and Dr. Pym would also stay in his laboratory to crack it. Multi-pronged approach, best efficiency.

Three Spider-Men took Venom back to the zombie universe, but found that the superheroes who had just recovered in this universe were fighting with others again. The opponent was Magneto.

All three Spider-Men had a headache. They hurriedly rushed up to pull the fight, but Iron Man of the zombie universe shouted at Spider-Man: "Must stop him, Spider-Man! It was he who spread the zombie virus to our universe. He is the real culprit!"

"He wants to destroy humanity!" Captain America also spoke: "This is an extremely dangerous element, Spider-Man, subdue him first."

This remark completely stunned Spider-Man. He had to join the Avengers team to fight against Magneto first, but Magneto didn't know if he was injured or didn't want to fight at all. The attitude of resistance wasn't very intense, and he was pressed by the Avengers not long after.

The Avengers escorted Magneto into the laboratory of the Stark Group and locked him in an energy cage. At this time, others also noticed that this Magneto just revealed an atmosphere of "I'm tired, destroy it".

"What exactly is going on? Erik?" Spider-Man stood out and said: "What exactly is there that can't be said for everyone to discuss together? Is it possible that you will be better if the Earth is destroyed? Mutants won't suffer together?"

Magneto, standing in the cage, closed his eyes and sighed, saying: "Charles is dead."

"Ah?!"

Spider-Man stepped forward in confusion and said: "What did you say? Professor X is dead?! You..."

Spider-Man actually wanted to say "Why didn't you save him", but looking at this old man who was about to die and whose heart was dead, Spider-Man really couldn't ask. He could only ask relatively tactfully: "When did he die? And how did he die?"

Magneto was silent for a long time before saying: "You don't understand that obtaining the truth requires a price. I am the one who saves the world."

"What exactly are you talking about?" Steve stepped forward and said somewhat angrily; "Where did you get the zombie virus? And why did you spread it on Earth?"

Spider-Man took two steps forward to stop Steve, and said: "Erik, I know you must be very sad about Charles's death, but you also know that even if you destroy the world, he can't be resurrected, and you will also destroy mutants like this..."

Magneto clenched his fists, opened his eyes, looked at Spider-Man with a sorrowful gaze, and said: "I am precisely fulfilling Charles's last wish!"

Steve was just about to say something more angrily, but Spider-Man stopped him. He faced Magneto's gaze without fear and said: "If you have any hidden secrets, say them now. We don't have time to play charades with you, and we don't have to save the world according to your way. If you don't say it now, we can just do it ourselves."

Magneto stared at Spider-Man and said: "Accepting the truth also requires a price. Are you really ready?"

"At least I will be better prepared than someone who wants to destroy the world at any time."
